At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, which opened on Friday, more than 830 exhibitors presented new motorhomes, caravans, and equipment. Manufacturers are expanding their autonomy offerings: increasing battery capacity, water tanks, and installing solar panels. This is driven by growing demand from couples and groups of friends who prefer to stay at farms or wineries rather than campsites.
For example, the Hymerⓘ B-ML features a doubled gas tank, a 200-liter water tank, and an optimized toilet system, allowing a family of four to go up to seven days without changing toilet water. The price starts at 178,000 euros. Luxury motorhomes such as the Action Mobil Global XRS 7400 Leopard are also on display, priced up to 2.2 million euros. The industry is also introducing digital energy management systems such as HobbyConnect for consumption monitoring. The show runs until September 6, with more than 250,000 visitors expected.
